	<h2>General news</h2>
	<p>
		I tried stopping by my mother&apos;s place today, but as expected, they weren&apos;t home.
		On the way back, I bought a second-hand broom, though I forgot to look for a dustpan.
	</p>
	<p>
		My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.

	<h2>University life</h2>
	<p>
		Having JavaScript disabled makes the university website function even better than I&apos;d hoped!
		There&apos;s the obvious fact that the website doesn&apos;t lock up on me every several seconds.
		This includes both Web forms and basic hyperlinks.
		I couldn&apos;t even click links whenever the website would lock up!
		However, there&apos;s another bonus too.
		I always compose in <abbr title="Extensible Hypertext Markup Language">XHTML</abbr> mode.
		However, the default text entry mode is some sort of rich text format mode.
		It&apos;s difficult to manipulate rich text mode and it takes two clicks every time to get into <abbr title="Extensible Hypertext Markup Language">XHTML</abbr> mode.
		Sure, it&apos;s only two clicks, but it adds up and it&apos;s mildly annoying.
		Now though, with JavaScript disabled, the forms are all stuck in <abbr title="Extensible Hypertext Markup Language">XHTML</abbr> mode!
		I assumed they&apos;d be stuck in a new plain text mode, but they&apos;re not.
		This is awesome!
	</p>
	<p>
		I finished up my learning journal assignments that were due today.
		The <span title="Greek and Roman Civilization">HIST 1421</span> reading assignment for the week is as follows:
	</p>
	<ul>
		<li>
			<a href="https://forumromanum.org./history/morey18.html">Outlines of Roman History, Chapter 18</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="https://forumromanum.org./history/morey19.html">Outlines of Roman History, Chapter 19</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="https://forumromanum.org./history/morey20.html">Outlines of Roman History, Chapter 20</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="https://forumromanum.org./history/morey21.html">Outlines of Roman History, Chapter 21</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="https://forumromanum.org./history/morey22.html">Outlines of Roman History, Chapter 22</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="https://forumromanum.org./history/morey23.html">Outlines of Roman History, Chapter 23</a>
		</li>
	</ul>
	<p>
		I got some of the reading done today and hope to work on it further tomorrow.
